Do you know what this poem is? Help!

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Poetry : One Thread

I am playing a game of "poetry jeopardy" with a friend, and he gave me the first line and a little bit more of a poem. I am supposed to find the poet and the title of the poem. I don't have much to go on...but here goes. Here's the first line: i carry your heart with me (i carry it in... Thats all he gave me of the 1st line. The other excerpt is:

i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it's you whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you

Anyone know who and what this is? I think it might be cummings, but I'm not sure. Any help will be appreciated!!! Thank you! Jamie

you are right cummings . i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
